With my laptop-life in full swing, I have become very accustomed to the little keyboard on my HP EliteBook 840 G6. It’s a fine keyboard for a laptop and serves me well. One of the terrible habits I have developed over the years, however, is putting my feet up on the chair next to me,…

Steam Deck purchases (no affiliate links)
Since my Steam Deck arrived, I have accumulated stuff to make its usage more fun, easier and more convenient. I will list the things that work for me with a single line to tell you what I think. It’s obviously a lazy blog post here. I’m posting it boldly! All are amazon links, because that’s…
Evernote, a pilgrimage.
I am, by nature, a mess of random ideas and thoughts. Note taking applications help to keep my brain empty by keeping things outside of my head. I have bounced around with different solutions over the years; I’ve tried everything at one point or another. I settled on OneNote last year because I got sick…
The dynamics of “better” – The masses vs the technical.
When people tell me that PeerTube is better than YouTube I raise my Bajoran eyebrow because to me, its wronger than a wrong pie on the tenth Tuesday of the month of wrongington, served at wrong-o’clock. But to them, it’s not wrong. You see, to the Free software user there are simply more factors to…
KeepSolid VPN Unlimited – Thoughts.
Many years ago I purchased a ‘Life-time’ subscription to Pure VPN. About an hour and a half after my purchase they were involved in something of a scandal when it was proven that they were not as secure as they may have been leading people to believe they were. I did the only thing I…
A new host, already!
Recently, I went from having a minimalist website to suddenly being HexDSL, WordPress user! It was quite an event. I migrated from hexdsl.co.uk to hexdsl.com, hosted by NameCheap via EasyWP. Well, while all that was excellent and I was happy the renewal that would be due in a year worried me, not a lot, but…
My Car Stereos Bluetooth Defaults.
I made a pleroma post this morning over on my pleroma instance and I figured I should expand on the issue to make is more discoverable if anyone else was having this issue. (now retired) The Problem. I drive a 2014 Nissan Juke. Its the one with the navigation screen and pointless climate control screen….
Unicomp – A few days later.
As many of you will be aware (from you recent YouTube video on the topic) I picked up a Unicomp Endurapro keyboard. I have had it for a few days now and wanted to share my assessment. As well as some tweaks I have at boot. Build quality. The deck creaking and flexing that I…
Keeping a Beat
I have recently been introduced to “Swatch Internet time” a time keeping system thought up by Swatch (the wrist watch people) as part of a strange advertising campaign linked to the Nation.1 Project. The Nation.1 project was another terrible idea that may or may not have been some kind of odd marketing company’s nefarious workings….
GDP DX Repair Video
This post is not Linux related! (shock! horror!) The Problem! I have this Android emulator handheld gaming thing. Its a GPD XD+ and I really like it. Because it gets a lot of use, it has began showing signs of its age. The hinge housing on the top part of the lower half has cracked….
